Template:SFS

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage edit

This template allows citation from the Swedish Code of Statutes (SFS).

Currently this template calls from the non-profit lagen.nu, in the format:

https://lagen.nu/{year-issued}:{number}_{specifier}#K{kapitel}P{paragraf}S{stycke}
<!-- https://lagen.nu/2004:1062#P7S1 -->

An alternative possibility is to use the official Regeringskansliets rättsdatabaser [Government Offices legal database] for lagar [laws], förordningar [ordinances], kommittédirektiv [committee directives] and kommittéregistret [the committee register]. One disadvantage of is the lack of plaintext and pinpoints.

To do edit

Fix bugs and generally clean the code. Allow government domain and user urls as backup.
lagen.nu also hosts official documents in other subdomains (e.g. SIFS 2019.3 or LIFS 2016:1), supreme court cases, as well as propositionens with commentary (2008/09:187). Extend support if possible.
Add parameters expected from CS1|2 like access-date. Consider moving to CS1|2 wrapper.
Eventually move to single EU legal template.
